Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Which came first, the body or the consciousness? Did the consciousness appear in the body? Or did the body(s) appear in consciousness? I agree, Maharaj works it both ways, at varrying times, depending on who he is talking to. But my question is, what difference does it make, which way you work it, considering " body cum consciousness " aka " Cosmos cum Consciousness " is only an appearance? ..

Yes, that's exactly it, right on the button. > But my question is, > what difference does it make, > which way you work it, > considering " body cum consciousness " aka > " Cosmos cum Consciousness " > is only an appearance? Agreed with that as well. Ultimately it doesn't matter a bit. Still, there's a " sense " that consciousness is prior to the body, as without consciousness there's no perception of a body. I acknowledge there's no 'proof' for this 'feeling', it just seems so. I don't know why it sometimes seems important. The thought 'this seems important' arises sometimes. And from here, that seems OK :-). Love, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
